One of the nicest things about fall
are those harvest supper socials when
folks throughout the land gather to-
gether with the fruits of their sum-
mer labors and heap high the table
with steaming chicken fricassee or
beefsteak pies, fruits and vegetables,
and pies, anything good to eat!
It's partially the food that makes
these suppers unforgettable and par-
tially, too, the way
it brings old friends
together before the
long winter pulls
in. Whether it's the
local grange who
sponsors the affair
____or the ladies’ aid,
jr groups, the affair will be a tre-
mendous success.
Remember the chicken fricassee?

Accompanied by his son, Sandy
entered a tavern, where he handed
over a jar and asked for it to be
filled with whisky.
When this had been done he found
he’d left all his money at home. So,
with a cynical smile, the land-
lord poured out the whisky.
"That wis an’ awfu’ peety,” said
the son when they were plodding
home again.
"Wheest, son,” replied Sandy, "jist
wait till we get hame an' ye see me
squeezing oot the sponge."
As
PAPA PAYS
"Tom says that he is going to get
married as soon as he can afford it."
"He ought to be able to afford to
marry a rich girl.”
(Serves 6)
2 pounds beef steak (cut %
inch thick)
2 pork kidneys
2 small onions, minced
1 teaspoon salt
%4 teaspoon pepper
LYNN SAYS:
Sudsy Facts: Higher industrial
activity and consumer income
contribute to larger soap con-
sumption, according to a Depart-
ment of Agriculture report, mak-
ing last year's soap consumption
the largest on record.
Domestic oils and inedible tal-
low will take the place of Import-
ed and tropical oils for this year's
soap supply.
Healthfulness dictates cleanli-
ness, and that means not only in
clothing and personal hygiene but
in clean surroundings in the
home, especially in the kitchen
where food is prepared. Light or
white floors insure cleanliness.
You can restore freshness by
laundering draperies, walls, rugs
and upholstery by using a soap
jelly made by dissolving 1 part
soap to 5 parts hot water, letting
cool, then whipping to a fluff with
a beater.
1 cup flour
% cup fat
2 teaspoons Worcestershire
sauce
Cut steak into l’-inch pieces.
Dredge with flour, salt and pepper.
Saute with onion until brown in
heavy kettle. Add sufficient water
to cover meat well. Add sauce and
seasoning. Place on heat to sim-
mer.
Remove every trace of white
tubes from kidneys and cut into
cubes. Place in
kettle, cover with
cold water, bring
to a boil and
drain, and repeat
a second time.
Add kidneys to
meat in kettle
and simmer to-
gether until tender, about two hours.
Continue to add a little liquid and
stir from time to time to keep meat
from sticking. Remove meat to a
casserole, add enough liquid to cov-
er, and set aside to cool.' Cover
with a crust of plain pastry and bake
in a hot (450-degree) oven 12-15 min-
utes.
There are so many good foods at
this autumn banquet that unless
your vegetables are pointed up, their
consumption may lag. There’s no
danger of that if you have either of
these combinations:
•Sauteed Corn With Green Pepper,
(Serves 6)
3 tablespoons butter
3 cups corn, cooked
2 tablespoons green pepper
Salt, pepper
% cup cream
Melt butter in a frying pan. Add
vegetables and seasonings with
cream. Cover and cook slowly until
liquid evaporates.
Savory Cabbage.
(Serves 6)
1 head cabbage
1 tablespoon chicken fat
1 tablespoon flour
Salt, pepper
Hard-cooked egg
Cook cabbage in boiling salted
water until tender but crisp. Drain
and chop. Brown flour in melted
fat, add stock, cabbage and sea-
sonings. Cook slowly for 10 min-
utes. Garnish with egg.
•Honey Pumpkin Pie.
(Serves 8)
2 eggs
1 cup milk
% cup cream
1% cups pumpkin
% cup honey
% teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
% teaspoon ginger
1 recipe all-bran pastry shells
Prepare pastry shells. Beat eggs
slightly, add remaining ingredients
and mix thoroughly. Pour into in-
dividual, unbaked pie shells and
bake in a hot oven (450 degrees) for
15 minutes. Reduce heat to mod-
erate (350 degrees) and continue
baking 45 minutes or until knife in-
serted comes out clean.
Pastry Shells.
